Electricity is probably the only area in which we get a real break here in Quebec. Almost all of our power is generated by hydro electric dams and we produce enough power that we fill all of our own demand plus we power most of Vermont and we also sell it to other states as well.
I have a big old 2 story house with a finished basement (really 3 stories) and an attached 2 car garage which is also heated all winter. We are 100% electric; heat, air conditioning, hot water, cooking, etc, etc. Heating in the winter accounts for about 2/3 of our total annual bill. My payments are just over $200 per month. If it wasn't so cold up here in the winter, my cost would be much lower.
One more thing, we don't have water meters so as long as no one reports me, I can water my lawn as much as I want at no charge.
Of course that means that I have to cut the grass twice a week.
